Pros
Headquartered in Bangkok. That is an amazing city, and a great hub for travel.
Cons
For the first time in my work-life, I chose to leave a company for no other reason than to leave that particular company. The culture at Agoda is so amazingly corrosive that I needed no other reason. No new opportunity required. No use for a prolonged job search for the next career move. No additional consideration needed. "Leave this place and your life will be better, you will be happier" was the inner monologue. The reasons... Insecure and petty middle management. Senior management was alarmingly arrogant, weak of character, and of surprisingly limited integrity. Decent but entirely disempowered peoples team, leading to severely limited oversight of poorly behaving managers. The end result, was an easy decision to leave.
